Compared to our classic Pickling Onions, our shallots a milder in flavour, pinker in colour, and more oval in shape. We grade our Pickling Shallots to 3 different sizes to meet everyone’s preferences.
Our sizes:
- Baby 20-25mm
- Medium: 25-45mm
- *Large: 45mm+ (Please note, there is no maximum size limit, and some can be quite large)
Pair our Pickling Shallots with some tasty sharp Malt Vinegar and some of our favourite Pickling Spice to create fresh, crunchy pickles.
You can buy all of these ingredients together in one of our Complete Shallot Pickling Kits at a bundle price.
Here at Parrish Farms, we grow vegetative shallots and seed-grown shallots.
Appearance: Vegetative Shallots vs. Shallots Grown from Seed
Vegetative Shallots: When you introduce a shallot bulb into the soil, it undergoes division, forming a cluster comprising several bulbs. Due to this clustered growth pattern, shallots propagated vegetatively tend to exhibit a more irregular shape. The precise shape can vary depending on the specific variety and the conditions in which they are cultivated.
Shallots Grown from Seed: These shallots typically possess a more consistent and uniform appearance. They may resemble a small, elongated onion or take on a rounder shape, with the variation primarily dictated by the specific shallot variety. As they do not originate from an existing bulb, they do not tend to cluster in the same manner as shallots propagated through vegetative means

Parrish Farms is a family run farm in the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside. Our farm has been managed by three generations of Parrish families for nearly 100 years, dating all the way back to 1927. The rich sandy soils of the Greensand Ridge are ideal for onion and shallot growing and we have been growing onions for 30 years on these pastures.
We are passionate about supplying great tasting onions and shallots in the most sustainable way and take great care of the land that we farm on. All of our fields are ringed by strips of uncultivated land, which are rich in wild flora and fauna, and encourage biodiversity. We use our own reservoir for irrigating our crops and renewable energy is used to help run our onions stores, with over 400kw of solar panels installed over the farm. We are constantly evolving our farming practices so that we operate in the most sustainable way, making sure to protect our local wildlife as well as to preserve the quality of the soil that our crops are grown on.

Customer Reviews
There was a high percentage of rotten shallots in my delivery. I forwarded photos to you showing the problem and I had an almost immediate apology from Caroline who has kindly offered to replace them when your latest harvest is available.
So, I cannot fault your customer service….thank you!
Great quality
I bought these round pickling shallots two years ago and had few bad ones and most importantly they were round and undivided. This year almost all the shallots had divided when peeled meaning my large shallots had turned into much smaller divided ones defeating the object of buying the larger size. I am not sure how they will pickle being so much smaller. Not very pleased to be honest had hoped for the same as I received previously. Not sure if I will trust Parrish Farm again.
Excellent product and service. Wlikd not hesitate to recommend
